The IDF said Monday that more than 80 munitions were dropped within hours during overnight airstrikes in Tehran, targeting key weapons production and research sites tied to Iran’s military industry.
According to the IDF, about 40 facilities linked to weapons manufacturing, research and development were struck over the past two days in a series of large-scale air force operations.

The military said the latest wave of strikes, carried out with precise intelligence guidance, focused on infrastructure belonging to what it described as the Iranian regime’s weapons production network across the capital.
Among the targets hit were a facility used to assemble long-range surface-to-air missiles, which Israel says pose a threat to its air force’s freedom of operation, as well as a site producing components for anti-tank missiles and small anti-aircraft systems.
Another target included a complex involved in the production, research and development of ballistic missile engines.
“In the past two days, we have intensified strikes on the regime’s production sites in Tehran,” the IDF said, adding that the goal is to degrade Iran’s military industries and limit its long-term production capabilities.
Iranian media reported overnight that parts of the petrochemical facilities in Tabriz were also struck. According to those reports, the situation was under control, emergency teams were on site and no hazardous materials were released.
